Feedback_Susann Trinh Quang Armenia Georgia Tour

Overall our Gergian trip was great. Davit was extremely patient and eager to show his country to us in addition to being very knowledgeable of the history and background of various sites, Caucasian music, and culinary dishes. He also was a great driver, especially driving to Gergeti Trinity Church in the pouring rain and fog – his car was spacious and fit for that very purpose. The highlight for us was the khinkali restaurant, there was unplanned singing and dancing – we think Davit relaxed a bit and had fun as well.
We both agreed that we would recommend both tour guides to our friends and acquaintances should they ever travel to Georgia, and we would go through MyGeo again for future travel in the region. The personalized tour was definitely the way to go 🙂
We very much enjoyed the itinerary, lots of sun and fresh scenery – thank you again for your patience in coordinating! All the best!
